I empower policymakers with evidence and support the research agenda for technology policy. I explain complex topics in everyday language with accessible examples so that people can understand. I teach people how to think critically and to ask critical questions. I perform Policy Research, Expert Testimony, Trainings on Technology Policy, and Public Commentary. My education and affiliations are listed below.
Prior to entering the tech policy research field, I worked in Silicon Valley, India, and the Netherlands in software, analytics, digital marketing, healthcare IT, finance, and philanthropy. I was born in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, in 1974 and earned Danish citizenship in 2022. I am happily married with three children. The information on this website reflects my own views.
Advanced technologies like the internet are an increasingly important part of our life and they grow more complex. In fact, the more complex they become, the more intimidated people are to study them. This is time that we need to dig in, investigate, and update our understanding and policy. The policy to enable technological transformation should have an informed discussion, though it can be politicized. Indeed, two economists can look at the same set of data and come to different conclusions. Even if this is difficult, we need to have discussions and hear different perspectives.
Academics have an important role to play in engaging and educating to improve policy. This collaboration is a vital process of democracy, along with other forms of free exchange.
